The Missing Years

The Missing Years

‘The Missing Years – A PoW’s Journey from Changi to Hellfire Pass’ is a gripping WW2 adventure. Part military history, part travelogue and pure human spirit. Based on the diaries of British captain Hugh Pilkington, Stu retraces his campaign from Malaya (shot by a Japanese sniper), the fall of Singapore (where he survived a hospital massacre and became a PoW) to working on the Thai-Burma Death Railway (with only one good arm).

– Rated by The Australian as one of the top 3 war books in 2009

– Finalist in the ASTW Awards for Travel Book of the Year.

Stu has also run special interest Military History tours through Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
